Handful of Nothing

Well, admit it : you are sick of iPhone related stuff but the damn thing has the most incredible hype of all time, and there’s a lot of subject to talk about it.
But, if you gather my posts + my chat with team members one thing becomes clear and Bruce tog now made it in the perfect way:

“I could go down through the other “innovations” in iPhone and slowly knock them off. Yes, it’s the first cell phone with a visual display of voicemail messages, so you can randomly move among voicemails, etc., etc. However, such lists have been displayed, in an identical fashion, on enterprise-level voicemail systems and, of course, such lists have been a standard feature in email for decades.

The origins of these bits and pieces, however, is not what’s important about the iPhone. What’s important is that, for the first time, so many great ideas and processes have been assembled in one device, iterated until they squeak, and made accessible to normal human beings. That’s the genius of Steve Jobs; that’s the genius of Apple.”

I couldn’t agree more. If you have dig the welcome video, you probably have seen a lot of things and though to yourself “damn, that’s nice”. Just like the call conference :

“Then, Apple has made an effort to make normally abstract features, such as Call Waiting and Conferencing, not only attractive, but dead simple.”

And that follows in other complicated features that became quite simple. I hope it really goes like that. Because in real life, loading times are bigger, crashes happen and all those beautiful things about software become reality.

Let’s wait until friday now. Does anyone want to help me buy one? I would easily pay the 59 bucks even without using the plan =)
